First of all, I do like cats. I never owned one, but I've enjoyed seeing them at friends and relatives. I've had dogs. I'm currently without pets rn.
But cats kinda just sit there. With dogs you can walk them, they greet you with enthusiasm when you get home and so on. I do miss having furry companions, but I can't swing a doggo rn, so that leaves a cat as the next option. However, I do want to commit and not feel regretful due to the commitment of owning one.
Also, it seems cat lovers get them in pairs or triples. Are single cats a healthy thing?
